Good news for anyone using the White Oak Bayou or MKT trails — the Studewood bridge finally has a repair date.

Construction is set to start Feb 23 and should take 4–6 weeks. That means the trail connection could finally reopen sometime in late March or early April.

@houmayor and @METROHouston removed a raised crosswalk that simply made it easier for the nice people of Houston to cross the street

Bring it back!

In March 2023, neighbors planted the first trees along the trail. Paul joined us that first day!

Today, that effort has grown into Shade — with 270 trees planted so far.

Be part of the next phase:

200 Trees Planted in 2025.

We want to offer our endless gratitude to our District C Councilmember Abbie Kamin for guiding us through and supporting this project. Learn how this project was made possible in part by a grant through the Department of Neighborhoods

@cajun_hombre @houmayor that would be very concerning if true, right? Particularly given the following text messages

[A Tale of Two Bridges @heightstrails]

What could $3M fund instead of a bikeway removal?

@houmayor is about shaping Houston to resemble the 1960s and 70s, when wide roads and car dominance sidelined safety, walkability, and modern mobility needs.

[A Tale of Two Bridges @heightstrails]

@cajun_hombre @houmayor It’s like winning the lottery and replacing random people’s roofs. Yeah it’s a good thing, but it was not needed. It was politically expedited

[A Tale of Two Bridges @heightstrails]

@NorthlineLex @houmayor It really puts things into perspective when a project that destroys the livability of a neighborhood for people could have funded the improvement in other parts of town

Can planting a tree be an act of resistance? 🌳

Our sidewalks could’ve eventually gone somewhere.

💬 Two Words to Describe this Trees Trail Project: 'Beauty.' and 'Hope.'

From scooters to shade trees, this is what growing up connected looks like.
